Abstract

Will expatriate South Africans be allowed to vote in this year's general election? The issue is to be settled by the Constitutional Court sometime in March and, though the matter seems, on the face of it, straightforward, it is, in fact, rather more complex. I expect that a number of "freedoms" supposedly enjoyed by South Africans will be subjected to examination and the opinions that will be presented will provide intriguing perspectives on both the Constitution and on the Court itself.
